Elisha Cuthbert to join 'The Forgotten'

The 24 star will be joining the Christian Slater investigative drama, which focuses on solving forgotten cases after the police have given up.

According to TV Guide, Cuthbert will play a strong and successful Chicago professional, who is forced to put her skepticism of "amateur detectives" aside when The Forgotten Network begins investigating a case she is personally involved with.

There was no word on whether she will reprise her role as Kim Bauer when 24 returns in January on Fox.
